Is that the one that periodically loses its plumage?

Can't tell if you're trolling. I for one have always liked the look of hatchbacks. And the Golf does not have a reputation for being slow.

I'm not sure if you actually ever had one, but your geek card has been revoked, with prejudice.

There was question that needed to be answered regarding whether or not anti-intellectualism was new. It was merely a statement that in America there tends to be a lot of anti-intellectualism. You asked what that "even means". I told you.

It means there's a culture of anti-intellectualism.

Meaning churches still wouldn't pay taxes?

It's not okay, but it wouldn't be murder either. It would be manslaughter.

Except all those comets that keep showing up. I don't suppose they are necessarily coming from anywhere though....God could be creating them out of thin air and hurling them at the sun.

I think that 40k number must a typo. All of the articles I've found say 240k to 470k. I only see 40k on only one website on a picture's caption, and then the article that accompanies it contradicts it and says 240k to 470k. But they all agree on the distance. 8,000 AU. Only 46 light days out. Really close. Sedna's aphelion is pretty far out, but it only goes 900 AU.

Or, more likely, they'll destroy the cameras.

A lack of speed also causes accidents. When the speed limit is below what most people are comfortable driving at, then the person obeying the speed limit suddenly becomes a road hazard.

Aggressive acceleration isn't necessarily a good indication of recklessness either. In fact, it necessary when doing things like merging or passing.

You're not contradicting anything I said. I'm not making a "morality comes from religion" argument. I'm making a "religion strengthens the social rules" argument....which it does. Unfortunately, in doing so, it also makes that society hostile to adaptation.

Was he that different? How many people did he starve to death in order to feed his armies?

Great book. I'm glad they changed the title though.
